But there's a method to their madness. Below, you'll find out the tax breaks don't just help the Koch's, but it also helps those young, up and coming challengers to Koch's Industries. The Koch's are wealthy enough to ditch the tax cuts and keep newer companies, large and small, from getting even a little of their action with government help:

FreeBeacan: The company owned by billionaire philanthropists Charles and
David Koch, as well as groups frequently associated with the fraternal
libertarians, are pushing Congress to let 55 tax breaks expire, including
several that provide billions in tax relief for corporations such
as Koch Industries. “We oppose ALL subsidies, whether existing or
proposed, including programs that benefit us, which are principally those that
are embedded in our economy, such as mandates,” wrote Philip Ellender,
president Koch’s government affairs division, in a Wednesday letter to members of Congress. The company sees
federal tax preferences in general as economically harmful.

Here's the key reason why:

“They are wasteful and market distorting, and allow other
firms to run businesses that aren’t making money any other way.”Like Koch Industries, American for Prosperity said, “we oppose corporate cronyism
of all forms.” AFP is encouraging lawmakers to vote against the full package of
tax extenders.

One Man's Challenge to a Party Bent on Destruction

Politics: Just a guy tired of "compromising." Stop encouraging Republicans when it comes to their failed ideology.
I was once a liberal radio talk host. Played co-host to Vicki McKenna, a complete liar who can't can't stop filling the airwaves with mindless babble.
I'm someone who enjoys the the painful smiles of conservatives as they struggle to deny the avalanche of facts tumbling their way. They seem preoccupied with spelling and grammar.
Real Estate: I also hosted a real estate radio show.
